Headscratchers / Carnage (2023)

• Why didn't Carnage retrieve Cletus's codex to put into the clone?
  • Because the original Cletus' codex is still piloting the Extrembiote, which pulls him out of the Hive.
• How did the original Cletus get a flesh-and-blood body back? When last seen his codex was piloting the Extrembiote and set to make a comeback, and his human body had been reduced to literal skin and bones before being cut in half by Eddie Brock.
